 Andrew Feinstein became an active – and ardent – member of the ANC in the 1980s, and campaigned energetically for the party in the first democratic elections. He was elected to parliament and rose swiftly through the ranks, earning the label ‘Mr Clean’ for his unstinting work against graft and corruption.
But his feelings of euphoria at being part of the new South Africa slowly soured. Initially disappointed by the constant jockeying for power and the denialist AIDS policy of President Thabo Mbeki, Feinstein’s disillusionment grew as he sought unsuccessfully to investigate the corruption surrounding the Arms Deal. Isolated from his former comrades, Feinstein was forced to choose between his principles and the party he had so admired. This is his story.
Andrew Feinstein was an ANC MP for more than seven years before resigning in protest at the party's handling of the multi-billion rand arms deal that was tainted by allegations of high-level corruption. After working in financial services he now writes, lectures and consults on public policy issues, particularly governance, leadership, corruption, diversity and AIDS. He also chairs an HIV & AIDS charity.
Much of what is going wrong [in South Africa], notably the ANC’s brutal war of succession and the ever growing nexus between business and politics, has its roots in the arms deal. – Mail & Guardian, January 2007
